A new free-trade agreement between the UK and Switzerland must overcome issues such as data regulation, intellectual property and access to service-sector companies, the Swiss government said while stressing that talks are “well advanced.” Almost three years into the talks, negotiators have made “good progress” on services, investment and digital trade, Bern’s State Secretariat for Economic Affairs told Bloomberg. The 10th round of negotiations took place this month in Geneva, according to an emailed statement. “Outstanding issues remain, among other things, regarding market access in the services sector, data flows and data protection, as well as on certain aspects of intellectual property,” it said. The agency declined to give a date by which the talks are intended to finish, saying “the goal is to make further progress in the coming months and to create the conditions for a conclusion.” Both countries started negotiating an update to their existing free-trade agreement — which rolled over from when the UK was part of the European Union — in 2023. Dating back to 1972, the accord predates the internet and focuses on trade in goods, largely omitting exchange of services. In a statement to parliament, the UK government also said progress has been made. “The government will only ever sign a trade agreement which aligns with the UK’s national interests, upholding our high standards across a range of sectors, alongside protections for the National Health Service,” trade minister Chris Bryant said without elaborating on existing disagreements. Since talks started, relations between Western Europe’s two major non-EU economies have been boosted by an agreement to recognize each other’s laws and regulations in financial services . The accord easing post-Brexit market access for banks, insurers and asset managers entered force this year. Switzerland’s Finance Minister Karin Keller-Sutter is visiting London this week to discuss the agreement with her counterpart Rachel Reeves...

DogoraSun/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Intercontinental Exchange's ( ICE ) New York Stock Exchange and Securitize will work together to develop tokenized securities markets , furthering NYSE's plan to develop a 24/7 trading platform for tokenized U.S.-listed equities and ETFs, the companies said on Tuesday. Securitize was named the first digital transfer agent eligible to mint blockchain-native securities for corporate or ETF issuers in the yet-to-be-created NYSE-affiliated tokenized securities platform, or Digital Trading Platform. Under a memorandum of understanding between the two companies, NYSE plans to partner with Securitize as a premier design partner in the development of a digital transfer agent program that's designed to support on-chain settlement of tokenized security transactions. The move comes a day after exchange rival Nasdaq ( NDAQ ) announced a partnership with Talos to develop an integrated system for managing tokenized collateral. Last week, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission approved a Nasdaq proposal to permit certain stocks to be traded and settled in tokenized form. In January, the NYSE said it's seeking regulatory approvals for a 24/7 tokenized securities platform, which will enable instant settlement, orders sized in dollar amounts, and stablecoin-based funding. Under the MOU, the companies also plan to jointly develop standards for digital transfer agents and tokenization agents participating in the digital system, with a focus on establishing regulatory, operational, and technology requirements for "As we explore how tokenization can enhance capital markets, it is critical that new infrastructure is developed in a way that preserves the trust, transparency, and protections investors expect," said NYSE Group President Lynn Martin. "Securitize brings deep experience in digital asset infrastructure and transfer agency, making them a strong partner in helping design this next generation of market structure."

Expand Energy Corp. and EQT Corp. are trying to displace traders that act as middlemen so the biggest US natural gas drillers can reap bigger profits from their output. Expand has increased its staff of marketers and related positions by 50% to 60 in the past year to strike more supply deals with end users that have typically relied on trading houses and other middlemen. The largest domestic gas producer also is shifting corporate headquarters to Houston from Oklahoma City to be closer to potential customers. The new hires have included marketer and researchers tasked with signing supply agreements with smaller regional markets, rather than selling gas into larger hubs where a tier of middlemen often close the gap with utilities, manufacturers and other end users, said Interim Chief Executive Officer Michael Wichertich . Expand plans to continue growing the team as its works to expand into Southeast markets and increase utilization of underground storage to capture seasonal arbitrages, Wichterich said during an interview at the CERAWeek by S&P Global conference in Houston. He acknowledged that long-term agreements with regional hubs carries some risk because demand may not materialize when and where expected. But Expand’s broad footprint provides a market-intelligence advantage that will help it trade more effectively than some competitors, he noted. “We’re seeing the flow of real data and real customers because I know when my wells are on and when they’re off,” Wichterich said. “If something goes down, I probably know about it before everybody else.” Read More: Expand CEO Steps Down as Gas Producer Plans Houston Move As for EQT, the company is pursuing more long-term deals with power plants and LNG exporters, as well as focusing more on reducing pipeline-transportation costs, CEO Toby Rice said.

da-kuk/E+ via Getty Images 2025 marked the beginning of the end of U.S. market exceptionalism, with a weaker dollar and steeper yield curves likely as global investors reassess American assets, Lazard strategist Ron Temple said. In an interview with CNBC, Temple warned that investors should consider reducing their allocations to U.S. equities in favor of markets that have been hit harder, such as Japanese and emerging market equities. Temple emphasized the critical importance of the bond market, noting that Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has repeatedly stated it is the administration’s primary focus. “The bond market really does end up being kind of the critical market to watch because the effects of higher bond yields emanate out through the rest of the economy and all other asset markets,” Temple explained. The strategist pointed to dramatic increases in short-term bond yields since late February, with U.S. two-year yields ( US2Y ) rising 50 basis points and UK yields surging nearly 100 basis points. He noted that markets had been expecting rate cuts, but those expectations have now been removed from the table, causing yield curves to flatten across developed markets. Looking ahead, Temple forecasts that yield curves will steepen due to mounting fiscal pressures, including higher defense spending by NATO, military expenditure in the Middle East, and persistent U.S. deficits. “In my expectation in the US, six and a half to 8% of GDP deficits every year for the next decade,” he said, adding that this will eventually become a negative for equity markets. Temple also expressed concern about the dollar’s eroding safe-haven status. While the currency initially rose during recent geopolitical tensions, gains have already started to fade. “I think we’re gonna look back at 2025 and say that was the beginning of the end of American exceptionalism in markets,” he concluded. On energy prices, Temple noted that gasoline futures have nearly doubled from $1.70 per gallon at th...
